This is really two decorative art deco items in one because this stylish lady looks just as good when unlit as she does lit!
This lovely sculpture clearly shows the influence of the Ballet Russe that took Paris by storm and inspired and excited so many other sculptors of the period such as Chiparus, Descomps and Molins.
Unfortunately this lady cannot be attributed to anyone in particular but when it comes to art deco, style is the most important aspect and this sculpture/lamp just oozes it.
The alabaster (the globe is creamy white and the square base warm pale yellow) is best lit with nothing greater than a 15watt bulb (any greater will damage the it) as used in the photos and it has a recent fitting with which to hold the bulb securely in the globe.
Alabaster was used in this period because of it's translucent qualities and for the way it softened the light, creating a "mood". For a lamp of this age the alabaster "globe" is in fine condition and has been looked after.
